When I started my career, most patients with stage IV lung cancer did not live longer than eight to 10 months. Now, however, it is not uncommon to see patient diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer doing well three to four years after their diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the biggest challenges you face as a mentor?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior faculty are not a reflection of you. We often tend to feel that everyone has goals similar to ours. Focusing on the mentee\u2019s career goals, rather than projecting your goals on the mentee, is the most important challenge I had to overcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you know when you\u2019ve been successful as a mentor?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your mentee does not feel the need to seek your advice on major
